Has anyone attempted to hang themselves from a tree before?

I'm considering doing this. But I'm not sure what knots to use or how to go about it. Does anyone have any advice?

There are threads about knots, you can use the search. Not only knots are important the tree itself is as important as knots.

Trees to use for hanging - from a tree expert

This thread is ONLY for those who 1) must do partial/full suspension hanging, and 2) can only resort to using a tree. I was a professional tree climber and trimmer for 5 years, i trimmed/felled trees away from powerlines all over Wyoming, Utah and Idaho. Just thought id give my best insights...

I tried once when I was younger.
Unfortunately I did it from a weak limb.
So... here I am still today.

I'll be sure to find a strong branch to use as my anchor point
